The first trial of them succeeded at Barcelims; but envy - end detraction defeated the hopes of the inventor, although the King expressed his minis faction with 'the invention.

Mr. CLARKE was called to the Chair, and in addressing the gentlemen present, said that it was intended, in consequence of some important communications that had been made to the Com mittee of Seripholders, to have adjourned the Meeting to some future day, therefore that would in some way account for the thin attendance of Shareholders this day, (there were not more than a dozen Shareholders present) ; it was intended on a future day to state to the Shareholders what that communication was, but at present he did not think it prudent to do so. At two o'clock nothing of importance had transpired, and the meeting was adjourned. DISCOVERY OF MR. BRADIEYS TWO HUN DRED SOVEREIGNS.

Bradleye, tobacco-merchants, of Crutehed-friars, as well as by the proprietors of the Defiance coach, to attend the hearing of this .case. The first evidence he should take leave to lay befine them would he that of Mr. Blore,' a clerk of Messrs. Bradley., who would prove the package, direction, and delivery of the parcel with its contents at Lad-lane-office, on the Bth of July last; that it never came to band; that several hear ings of the case were heard before the Mayor, at which the clerks at the Lad-lane-office, the guards of the Defiance coach on Cie day when the parcel was missing, and others connected with tie establishment, underwent several examinations : he should then distinctly prove the abstracting of the parcel from the conch at Leicester, by the prisoner Mastin, who carried it into the coach office, where the other prisoner Hill. was, .both filling confidenti;,l situations under Mr. Brigg, (a proprietor of the coach); and all er wards be should prove the division of th►e spoil between them bosh, and it wonld be then for the Mayor to strut them both be fore a Jury for trial. :Evidence was then puts into at length, de tailing minutely the facts above stated, and if there needed any thing to bring home the proof of guilt of both the prisoners, it wee made up by a confession of each.

Day,aDruL Sutettw.—A more determined act of self destruction than the one we are about to relate is seldom to be met with. On Sunday mottling last, a respectable looking young man arrived in Oxford, by the 'Worcester mail, front London, and immediately ordered a chaise, and proceeded to Dorchester, where he paid the post-boy, and discharged hint ; it appears he then tvent by a circuitous runt to Shillingfi►rd Midge, and having taken off his coat, he cut his throat with a razor, and then threw him self into the river. The razor with which he perpetrated the hor rid deed was found on the bank with his coat and hat, and the body was soon after discovered. It since appears that his wife and two children were at an inn, at Basingstoke, to whom be had written two letters by the previous night's post, stating that he .had gnat a weight on his mind, that be could bear it no longer ; and that his body would be found within a few yards of Shilling ford Bridge. Upon the receipt of these letters, the landlord at Basingstoke immediately set off, and when he arrived at Streatly, he was informed of the dreadful event having taken place. A co roner's inquest was held on the body, and the Jury reterned verdict, "Found drowned." We have been informed, that the unfortunate young man is a native of this town ; but as we are not certain .of this, we decline mentioning his name.— Oxford journal. TUE DANGYA ov TAKINa SALTS,—Late on Wednesday evening, an inquest was held in Clirtone-street, Marylebone, before Thomas Stirling, Esq., coroner, tn enquire into the circum- Bootees of the death of Mr. John Bacon, late of Reading in Berk shire, who died suddenly on Tuesday morning. It appeared that the dammed arrived in Londen from Reading, on Monday morn ing, and went to the house of his win-in-law, Mr. Wm. Cook, of Gray`e-inn-htne, Where he eat two fresh herrings, and left about 'Aner o'clock in the afternoon, to go to the house of Mrs. Eliza beth Clifton, another of his daughters, residing at No. 28, 1 !pper Charlton-street, Fitzroy-square, wher e he arrived about ft o'dock ; 'about an hour after, he complained that be felt unwell, aml shutild like to take some malts. An ounce was procured fns him, and he took it about six o'eloek in the evening. It did not operate, and the 4 raased'heearne very restless, and complained to Mos. Clifton, who recommended him to take some castor nil, which wag accord - ingly l'''`ured- and taken, but did not produce the desired effect. Betwegn five and six o'clock on the following morning, be became dangerously ill, and Mrs. Clifton and family being alarmed, sent fur Mr. Stratford Alford Eyre, a surgeon, who found the deceased hut he made trips that he f e lt grea t p a i n i n hi s b owe l s .

The question relative to the navigation of the Rhine. deer not appear to have been in any respect advanced by the recent Ordonnance of the King of the Netherlands, in which he agreed to consider the Leek es the continuation of the Rlliti6 the Batavian territory, where, in fact, the Rhine altogether disappears, first dwindling into a petty brook, and thin into a mere ditch. The Journal des Debats observes, that " the only importantquestion still. remains to he decided, through what channel is the free navigation of the Rhine, as far as the sea, to be carried on ? Without that liberty, all the rest is illusory ; and on that point the, Government of the Nethe r lands gives no explanations. .The. Leek teriithrates at its junctian with the Meuse, end the Meuse is a stream entirely Dutch and Belgic. On the other hand Prussia, on pretence of the delays occasioned by the conduct of Holland, retains in her hands 14 millions of florins, arising out of the duties levied, upon the navigation of the Rhine, which she ought of right to share with Nassau, Baden, Hesse Darmstadt, and other small states. These German Courts addressed Mr. Canning during his stay at Paris ; but it appears that England, although she upholds the principle of free na vigation, cannot interfere in the distribution of the duties levied on the Rhine, in the interior of Germany. • it is said that the small Cierman Courts intend to summon Prussia before the Federal Diet. Although Holland should ' be literally and geographically in the right on this question, we should say to the King of the Netherlands, with all the respect and esteem which his political principles and permontil qualities inspire, that, according to our view, it would be the interest of his kingdom, if well understood, to extricate the diplomatists of the Congress of Vienna from the snare into which their heedlessness has made them fall. They apparently had forgotten that the Rhine on the Dutch territorry does not flow into the sea. •To open frankly to the navigation of Germany, the Yasel and the- Wall, with the Meuse, whose natural windine form the true issues of the Rhine, would attract, we think, to Hol land, so immense a commerce, both from Germany arid from France and Switzerland, that ever so slight u trim sit duty would produCe a very great revenue. The King of the Netherlands, who himself as an able engineer, has traced the beautiful canal of the Texel, p ossesses a ll t h e knowledge necessary to appreciate this opinion ; and we flatter ourselves, that, entertaining the same views, he hesi tates to adopt them only with the design of obtaining greater advantages for his country. TRANSMISSION OF NEWSPAPERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Having read in the Cork Constitution a statement of the irregularity in the transmission of Newspapers experienced in Cork, and having been myself subjected to a like dis appointment in the regular receipt of the SUN ill another part of Ireland, I am induced to address you, in the hope that you will lend your aid to excite the attention of those who have the power to correct such abuse or mismanage uncut. I have been staying in the county of Longford for some months, and although previously to my leaving England a friend had promised to send me your Paper daily, I was greatly disappointed at receiving it only occasionally. For a length of time I bore this disappointment with silence, if not with patience, (for I must acknowledge, Mr.' Editor, that I had rather go withoUt my breakfast than your Newspaper) and I attributed it to the effect of the old but true proverb of " out of sight out of mind," until one morning I received two Newspapers folded together, the address of which was in the hand writing of my friend in England, and upon opening them I found only one SUN, but instead of , the other, which had been originally under the same direction, lo and behold the Dublin Emning Mail supplied its place. 'This proved convincingly that the packet had been opened, and it then occurred to me that the cause of m y not receiving the. papers with regularity was to be traced to some neglect or abuse in the Post- Office ; I therefore wrote to 'thy•friend in Englund, and in reply received an assurance that every paper,• without exception, had been correctly addressed to me, though I had not received one in three !! As I do not exactly know to whom to apply on the subject, and apprehending that little attention would be paid to a representation from an humble individual like myself, I have thought it best to address you, in order that you may make the circumstance public if you *aim; the proprietors of the daily papers, being not less interested in the correction of abuses w the transmission of their papers than the individuals to whom they are addressed. I send you my name, that you may not suppose the state ment made in the letter is fabricated. I am YOUR CONSTANT READER, (When the Post Office lets me have your Paper.) Tlie writer of this letter is well known to us, and we are con vinced that if it had been addressed to Mr. Freeling, an inquiry into the circumstances stated would have been intoitutetl. We hope, however, that the attention of the Post Office will now be called to the subject. Eurroa. TRANSMISSION OF NEWSPAPERS.—It is not long since the Chief Secretary to the General Post. Office Ives pleased to announce officially, to all persons belonging to the Post Office Department, that the strictest attention was required, and would be insisted on, by the Postmasters 'General, in the forwarding of the Public Journals. The laudable object of those expressions of authority was, to prevent the spoliation of Newspapers, or the retarding of them, from their destination—two species of i n j ur y against which the Proprietors had long and loudly complain e d. We are sorry to be obliged to say, that orders so proper, and so necessary, and enjoined with so much authoritative ex actness and precision, are bat indifferently complied with After all ; and that we have to complain, which we do openly and publicly, of papers destined for our office being intercepted repeatedly, for some time past, and others not arriving in their regular course—besides some attempts at exactions_ that is to say, to obtain our own papergratix— for merely discharging- a public duty. We have borne these things tamely---:but we will ring such a peal of com plaint, if we have not immediate redress, as shall reach the ears of the nation generally, and his Majesty's Ministers particularly. —Cork Constitution.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday, and the Etoile o f Thursday morning, reached us last night, but do not furnish any news of importance from any quarter of the world. The accounts from St. Petersburgh contain no fur ther intelligence from the Persian frontier ; and they mention, apparently with surprise, that the fourth bul letin of the Army in Georgia has not been received. The EMPEROR has transmitted a splendid Sword to General PASKOWITCH, who obtained a victory at. Elizabethpol, with the following inscription To the Conqueror of the Persians." The Etoile states, that the approaching opening of our Parliament has begun to withdraw from France a large number of British travellers. The numbers of our countrymen who go to France, even at this sea son, is very considerable. From the 4th to the 11th inst., the Calais packet-boats landed in France 316 passengers—but 485 embarked from Calais for this country. It does not appear that any further advance in the French Funds has taken place.

BRUSSELS, Nov. Majesty's levee was very numerously attended yesterday; several Officers were present, who offered their services for the East Indies . Tire invitation to volunteer for this service is very successful. MX HAGUE, Nov. 14.—1 t is affirmed that in addition to other measures adopted to equip as soon as possible three ships of war, for conveying the troops intended for the Indies, it has been resolved to give higher bounties to able seamen, inclined to enter into the naval service for five years; bounties will likewise be given to those who are inclined to engage themselves only for the voyage out and home. It is reasonably expected that by these measures, the crews for the three vessels will be shortly completed. AMSTUDAM, Nov. 14.—The accounts from Groningen, and other places afflicted by the sickness, are still very gloomy. In the week ending November 9, the deaths at Groningen were 105, being five more than in the week preceding. The windier of deaths at that place, since the commencement of the sickness, is 2,09 M. As heads of families are daily carried off, poverty and distress are increasing. The cold weather, at the beginning of this week, has been extremely unfavourable. EXCUANGE ON LONDON.

(From the Oriental Spectator.) mile t h e Nexi o tes, who were conscious of their guilt, thought themselves safe from the just chastisement of the Marquis Pau liscci, they , suddenly saw him aPpear on the 26th, in the morning, with eight sail. As the violent north *ind hindered the „large ships from entering the port, the Admiral went on hoard a schooner, sod macho/elf pff the town with his small vessel,. lie summoned the Greek primates on board, detained them as suspeeted, end threatened the town with destruction, if it did not formally beg pardon for the insult offered in April last to the Imperial seg. The same evening he went to S. Procopio, where the frigates and corvettes lay, the sea being stormy, the passage was not with out danger, especially fur such small vessels. The Naxiotee, well as the Candiotes who had fled to our island, fearing the en terprising character and military spirit of Admiral Paulueci, aban doned the town during the night. The following morning, at day-break, to the astonishment of every body, all the eminences commanding the town were seen to be - occupied by Imperial troops. At the same time the inhabitants beheld a sight entirely new to them, a telegraph was erected on one of the hills, by rea son of which the Admiral gave his orders anti received rei tots- On the 24th an officer came into the town with a cletschinent, and he intimated to the Primates and inhabitants the commands of the Admiral, which-were that they should solemnly hoist the Austrian flag, reinstate the Vire Consul in his funetiouts and make good the injury done to the Austrian sub jecte, Giovanni Ducovich, and the Russian Captain Pietro ,le Giovanni. Several of the inhabitants Opposed their just de mands; the troops that had been landed and the ship then tired . their guns ; naval rockets spread consternation ; and the firing was suspended at the entreaty of the Archbishop Vigette and the French Consul. The troops took possession of the town, and the inhabitants laid down their arms. Nobody was molested, and property was respected. Two sentries were posted Wore pea house belonging to the guilty. The Candiotes scattered about the country made a show of attacking the outposts, but were rrpubed: under cover of the night, they attempted a second attacks but were repulsed, with the loss of some men.

Notwithstanding the ialm enl ' e quantities of foreign corn which have, under the pro" visions o f th e lat e Order in Council, been admitted on to our ports , the prices of all kinds of gr ain continue the rise, particularly those of oats, wh ich have Apo considerably advanced. ta ken If his M a j es ty' s Ministers therefore had not upon themselves the responsibility of admitting for corn, it is but just to assume that the prices scald erB this time have been such as to involve in distress lathe population of the country.
